Mobile Credit Card Processing PayAnywhere

Pay Anywhere gives you a free app and a free card reader. There are no hidden fees.

It is not the most affordable phone credit card processor.

Pay Anywhere is a full-featured mobile credit card processor with unusual capabilities such as a built-in heat map that reports sales trends.



Pay Anywhere is a phone credit card processing application from North American Bancard. Although its pricing is not the best, it has excellent features and praiseworthy 24/7 customer support.

There is no monthly fee, monthly minimum or cancelation fee. The credit card reader is free. Nevertheless, Pay Anywhere is no price leader. Swiped rates are 2.69%. Keyed rates are 3.49% plus $0.19.

Pay Anywhere works on iPhones, iPads and Androids, and connects to Star thermal and AirPrint-enabled printers. It also works with any cash drawers that connect to Star printers.

Pay Anywhere can handle tips and taxes. You can ask the system to automatically calculate the tax based on your location. It also lets you email receipts for sales, refunds and voids. Receipts include images and descriptions of the item. The service allows you to build an inventory of goods and services organized into categories that you can populate with pictures. The service also provides a free merchant portal where you can retrieve transaction reports, monthly statements and copies of receipts. There is a heat map that shows sales trends. Plus you can identify your best customers and top sales items.

It is easy to use Pay Anywhere for mobile payment solutions. When we compare it to some of the other services on our lineup, the costs are simple to understand, and the hardware and accompanying application are elegant. The data that you can analyze makes it easy to see the sources of your main sales.

Security is strong because you have your own unique account, transactions are encrypted and the phone doesn’t store credit card data. The service complies with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, a set of tools and measurements that the credit card industry adheres to in order to protect sensitive information.
